GREEN BAY - Several inches of snow are expected to arrive ahead of Sunday's NFC championship game between the Green Bay Packers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The National Weather Service's weekend forecast projects northeastern Wisconsin and surrounding areas will see 2-4 inches of snow begin late Saturday night and continue into Sunday morning. The snow should stop by mid-morning Sunday with moderate temperatures in the 20s at kickoff, said Roy Ekberg, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
"The snow will stop before kickoff. There may be a lingering flurry or snow shower, but that looks negligible at this time,"

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Heads up, Chiefs fans! It’s looking like it will be damp and cold outside this Sunday evening as Kansas City takes on the Buffalo Bills.
“It’s going to be rainy, drizzly, mist is going to be falling out of the sky,” FOX4’s Karli Ritter said on Friday.
The rain will likely start in the morning and last all day. Predictions show the north part of a big rain system will hover over the metro before the full mass moves in later in the evening.
Here’s what we can see for gameday:
- Tailgating: The temperature will be about 40 degrees before the game with light winds.
- Kickoff: By 5:40 p.m., the temperature will be down down a few degrees with slightly increasing winds.
- Second half: We’ll be in the mid- to low-30s by the start of the second half, and winds will be up to 15 mph.
